Brash, unprofessional, arrogant and condescending. Upon entering the office of Mr. Kadish he did not have the appropriate MD case search materials on hand that are available to the general public and sent his associate Keith to fetch them. In the meantime he lectured me about a protective order, which I informed him I did not have against me. Kadish quickly took an inventory of my personal existence and decided his next question was how much money do you have? Phrased just like that. He refused to answer any questions (including How much is your retainer? ) until I provided an answer on the state of my personal finances. Next came the strange, out of the scope of my case questions surrounding the relationship that I m in. If Mr. Kadish wants information regarding open relationships, I recommend he do private research instead of asking those questions to potential clients at their consultation. Once it became clear that I did not have the money to pay Mr. Kadish 750/hr he informed that he would do me a personal favor and allow his associate Keith to take the case for a mere 1000 as opposed to Keiths rate of 2500. Kadish explained that he would be taking a personal loss on this case in order to help me out, he also told me that his firm normally does not take cases such as mine (indecent exposure charge, harassment charge) even though his website clearly says criminal law . You don t know me at all but you re willing to provide a personal favor, out of pocket for me? That s a red flag. For those seeking the services of Kadish and Associates just know that Kadish himself bills at 750/hr, won t appear in district court for less than 7500, and won t appear in circuit court for less than 25,000. (You re welcome for spreading your fee schedule) You won t find these prices on their site and when I asked them why they couldn t tell me over the phone Keith simply said he couldn t . I ve recieved better professional treatment from cashiers at Wal-mart than at Kadish & Associates; however since they re insulated from the general population on the 23rd floor of the world trade building they ve had time and space to develop their special type of economic prejudice. They could very well be good at their jobs but I ll never know due to their unprofessional behavior and my lack of currency to buy their courtesy.
